What I saw in Kolkata , Hyderabad, Jaipur , Mumbai in Recent times ???
Several Cell Towers in India are emitting high levels of Radiation --!! there is none to measure the Radiation levels at Random ?
By the end of Dece. 2011, the number of Mobile phone users in India had reached to 80 crores according to Telephone Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI ). Accordingly the number of high frequency radiation spewing Mobile Cell Towers are being erected all over India indiscriminately in violation of specified rules & regulations by the mobile cos. in highly Congested Residential localities on Residential Apartments & even on age old structures without caring for the dangers for not having structural stability certificate & health hazards being faced by Public.
In 2011 , I visited all the above cities witnessed the Cell Towers are mushroomed
indiscriminately in highly congested residential localities on residential apartments without having structural stability certificates, mostly are illegally installed with the connivance of Landlords , municipal authorites & mobile companies without caring for the dangers & health hazards being faced by Public.
For instance , in the heart of Hyderabad in & around the National Institute of Nutrition located at Taranaka, Habsiguda , Nacharam, Moulali, Kapra, ECIL, Shivam, Chilakalguda, Seethaphalmandi, Vidyanagar, Shankarmutt,Amberpet & Gachhibowli areas, the Municipal Authorities have given permission for erection of high frequency radiation spreading by Mobile Towers surrounded by huge Residential Towers .
Another instance in Kolkata -- after coming up New Ministry in West Bengal , the new Environment Minister announced in last October 2011 in Legislative Assembly that all Illegal Mobile Towers in Kolkata , Howrah & other places will be removed . These politicians announce all these as stunt only for the sake of
announcement for cheap popularity among Public to make news for print media & electronic media. The Environment Deptt. i.e, WBPCB has issued Removal orders in last April 2011 based on mass complaints of residents & school authority for removal of 2 Illegal Mobile Towers of South Kolkata , it is regretted that after lapse of more than 10 months , the 2 Cell towers not yet been removed by Municipal Authority , Police & WBPCB. The Mobile Tower companies are still running their business with high Radiation without caring health hazards of Public.
In these localities one can see two to three cell towers on a single apartments that are erected without consent of local Residents, which is a mandatory before erecting a cell tower on any building. Even low -levels of radiations from these towers are causing memory impairments, neurological problems, miscarriage , heart problems &depression among the local residents especially for students & women.
Inspite of several representation by the residents in all these states to Hon'ble Ministers , Mayors , Councillors , the municipal authorities defend themselves by showing the Court stays against removal of such unauthorized towers. As a result of this public resentment is growing against courts that are not showing any concern for public health instead postponing the action, by showing technicalities in the litigation filed by the cell tower managements.
This is all happening because of connivance of Municipal authorities with the cell tower managements , where bribe plays major role in erection of mobile towers without heeding the public health & laws. Even the United Nations statement show that any cell towers must be erected at least 300 mtrs. away from the Residential localities. But who is there in India to care about the public health ?
